What is the purpose of following orders or more relevantly why does a solider follow orders. Besides the obvious reasons of: avoiding getting yelled at, smoked or counseled. A solider follows orders to get the task at hand done. This ultimately leads to increased mission effectiveness and/or mission success. If a solider fails to accomplish an order, fails to follow an order or even out right refuses to listen to the order, any and all missions or tasks suffer. Such lack of discipline and negligence done repetitively will cause a mission to fail, and of course failure is not an option. Aside from the immediate impact on the mission or task at hand, it shows a gross amount of disrespect to your superiors, primarily the one issuing the order. As well as it shows the same disrespect to your peers; the ones working alongside you trying to complete the objective. Failure to obey an order is the quickest way to under mind the efforts put forth by your battle buddies, as well as degrade the work and progress they have already made. The army was built on order. To neglect an order completely violates that pinnacle point of the army and to deviate from it shows a massive amount of discipline at all levels. Now instead of repeating the effects and perceptions of failing to follow an order, here is some exposer to a real world example. In fact the best example is the vary situation at hand. The catalyst to this essay. A solider (myself) came across the problem of being overzealous and preemptively logging out the hours of a dispatch particularly the electrical power plant’s dispatch, Of which had not properly received the preventive maintenance checks and services that it required for the day. This action demanded a correction, and with limited time before an evaluation occurred (which ultimate ruled out correcting this dilemma with the proper answer – which of course is to proper...

An actor, when his cue came, was unable to move onto the stage. He said, “I can’t get in, the chair is in the way.” And the producer said, “Use the difficulty. If it’s a drama, pick the chair up and smash it. If it’s a comedy, fall over it.” From this experience the actor concluded that in any situation in life that is negative, there is something positive you can do with it.

We don’t really learn anything properly until there is a problem, until we make a mistake, until something fails to go as we had hoped. When everything is working well, with no problems or failure, what incentive do we have to try something new? We are only motivated to learn when we experience difficulties.

-:LINE FOLLOWING ROBOT:-
One of the most basic autonomous robot you can build is a line following robot(LFR). This type of robot is run over a white surface which has an arbitrary path drawn over it by using back paint. The task of the robot is to run exactly along this painted path. You may note that the surface may also be black(or any other dark colour), in that case the path is a light colour like white. Please watch the following video for a LFR in action.
Designing an LFR:
At minimum our LFR design require the following components.
A sensor to detect the line on the surface.(It can be a simple IR Reflectance Sensor or an high end camera!). We will use a simple IR based sensor, it is cheap and easy to build and use. This article describe how to make a line sensor array.
A microprocessor to run the code that takes inputs from the sensor and control the motion of robot. We will use a cheap single chip computer called an microcontroller (MCU). A popular family of microcontroller is AVR series from Atmel. A member of the popular family is ATmega8. ATmega8 is chosen because it has just the required amount of resources and is very low cost.
The MCU cannot drive the motors (used to actually make the robot run) directly, so a motor driver is used. A motor driver in our case is a simple 16pin chip called L293D. It can drive 2 DC motors. We use a technique called PWM to vary the speed of motor digitally from the...
